Josh Poimboeuf b68b990706 objtool: Support conditional retpolines
A Clang-built kernel is showing the following warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/platform-quirks.o: warning: objtool: x86_early_init_platform_quirks()+0x84: unreachable instruction

That corresponds to this code:

  7e:   0f 85 00 00 00 00       jne    84 <x86_early_init_platform_quirks+0x84>
                        80: R_X86_64_PC32       __x86_indirect_thunk_r11-0x4
  84:   c3                      retq

This is a conditional retpoline sibling call, which is now possible
thanks to retpolines.  Objtool hasn't seen that before.  It's
incorrectly interpreting the conditional jump as an unconditional
dynamic jump.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
